Storm Drain Marking - Stormwater

The City of Fort Wayne wants YOU -- to help mark storm drains!

Fort Wayne, like many communities around the country, wants to call attention to the storm drains in our community and remind people that they should never dump anything down a storm drain. Most stormwater runoff that goes into a storm drain does not receive any kind of water quality treatment before it goes into a pond, stream or one of the City's rivers. That means that anything that enters a storm drain also goes directly to a water body.

Marking storm drains in your neighbohrood is easy to do.

The City of Fort Wayne provides all of the markers, equipment and

safety supplies that you will need.

The process includes:

1. Clean the spot where the marker will be placed using a wire brush.

2. Apply adhesive to the back of the marker.

3. Place the marker and press down

4. Wipe up any excess adhesive that may have oozed out from under the marker.

5. Move on to the next location

.

The City also provides information that you can distribute to your friends and neighbors so they will know why the markers have been applied.
